DNS Acceleration
Our global network speeds DNS request delivery to end-users.
A Domain Name System (DNS) connects users to a remote service or networked computer by way of user-friendly domain names rather than numerical IP addresses. That is good, but not nearly good enough.
Globalized. Decentralized. Outstandingly optimized and secure.
NetDNA’s Advanced DNS Hosting – based on Anycast methodology – kicks DNS management to a whole new level of speed and performance because it’s designed to optimize both content delivery and the user experience. Our DNS hosting is globalized and decentralized to support to-the-max performance and lock-tight security benefits.
How it Works:
Standard DNS:
- Centralized & static – low packet efficiency
- Nameservers point to a single origin – no spread or redundancy
- Several hops from end user’s client before IP is returned
- Inefficient hops with a longer path to the destination server
- Only one possible destination without a CDN
Advance Anycast DNS:
- Decentralized with global network
Minimal Time To Live – cached DNS information is continually updated - Truly redundant nameservers with dynamic and intelligent queries
- Fewer hops with optimized destination route
- Shorter lookup time, faster site performance
- Multiple geo locations, propagated in real-time

Advanced security with true redundancy:
While multiple DNS servers (ns1, ns2, etc.) are common, they are usually not truly redundant – and that leaves you and your business vulnerable. With Advanced DNS, truly redundant nameservers eliminate the damage from denial of service (DOS) attacks, as backup nameservers stand ready to respond.
CNAME configuration for root domain:
To save time, internet users frequently omit the hostname “www” when typing addresses into their browsers, What they don’t know is that this little bit of magic is usually allowed only via http redirects, which actually increases response time. With Advanced DNS, the root domain is completely configurable with CNAME, creating a more seamless experience for end users.
Control Panel
Manage your site’s use of our CDN with our uber-easy control panel interface, or if you prefer, through our highly flexible XML-RPC API.
Powerful and easy-to-use control panel:
Advanced DNS is easily configured using NetDNA’s friendly and intuitive management interface. Updates are reflected in real time, with a convenient staging environment that makes it easy to test DNS configuration changes prior to live deployment.
XML-RPC API
Manage all aspects of your site or service with an open API which can fully integrate with any third-party or custom application.
Real-Time Reporting
NetDNA’s real-time reporting puts you in full control! Our feature-packed, easy-reading reports give you “eye-in-the-sky” intelligence on web traffic, performance and efficiency so you can monitor critical launches and events, respond quickly – while keeping users content.
